Laying only a single egg, the spider wasp has a brutal method to ensure its young have a high chance of survival. With a striking red thorax, the spider wasp gains its name from paralysing arachnids with its large stinger. The spider is then dragged into the wasp’s nest, where it will lay one egg into the still-alive abdomen of the spider, which will act as a ‘host’ to the young. The wasp larvae will then feed on the inside of the spider, till it breaks free as an adult wasp.

It is nature not someone's opinion you moron
This wasp egg is unfertilized because it picked on a small spider. The egg will hatch as male wasp. If the wasp egg is fertilized, she will look for a bigger spider to support a female offspring. Female larvae is more demanding when it comes to protein source because female wasps are twice larger than the males.
